Chapter 14: Carrying the coffin to the funeral
Chapter 14: Carrying the coffin to the funeral
It was noon in a moment, the clear air from heaven and earth rose, and the turbid air sank. Now was the best time to hold the funeral.
Because there had been a funeral yesterday, the servants of the Li family already had experience and completed the task quickly this time.
But because they had witnessed the tragic scene of yesterday's funeral, they were a little cautious in their movements.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened and the rope on the coffin was tied after a while.
After everything was arranged, Taoist Master Qi Yuan officially began the ritual.
The old Taoist held a sword in his left hand, a bell in his right hand, and stepped on Tiangang. He walked quickly around the coffin and muttered something.
"The Supreme Lord's decree transcends your lonely soul, all ghosts and ghosts, and is blessed by you in all your lives.
Those with heads fly, those without heads ascend, they are killed with spears and knives, and they jump into the water and are suspended by ropes.
Die openly and secretly, die unjustly, creditor and enemy, beg for life.
Kneel down in front of my stage, the Eight Diagrams will shine, stand out from the threshold, and transcend other places.
As a man or a woman, you are responsible for your own responsibility. Whether you are rich or poor is your own responsibility.
The order is given to save the people, and the people who are waiting for it are saved. The people who are waiting for the order are saved, and the people are saved. "
After reading a passage from the "Tai Shang Du Ren Jing", the old Taoist stood still facing the coffin, then took out three incense sticks from the Tai Chi Bagua curtain he carried with him and lit them.
Time passed slowly, and soon one third of the three incense sticks were burned. However, looking at the two long and one short incense sticks in his hand, the old Taoist looked a little ugly.
People are most afraid of something bad happening to them!
The worst thing about incense is two short and one long!
"click"
Another accident happened. Three incense sticks, two short and one long, suddenly broke.
Suddenly, Taoist Qi Yuan felt a chill all over his body and shivered violently.
"This, this, this... the owner of the coffin obviously doesn't want to leave, and may even want to get up and kill him. What should I do?"
After taking a deep breath and calming down for a moment, the old Taoist priest's temper also flared up.
If you don't want to listen to a nice talk, don't blame me for being rude.
The owner in this coffin has to leave today whether he wants to or not.
He just didn't believe it. How could a lucky star among the four pillars of the gods, plus a horoscope harder than stone, not be able to deal with a mere evil coffin?
Taoist Qi Yuan threw down the incense stick in his hand with an unpleasant look on his face, turned around and shouted
"Lift the coffin."
Hearing the sound, the eight people carrying the coffin bent their waists and crouched on their horses. Led by Gu Nian'an, they lifted the coffin together.
Who knows, something strange will happen suddenly!
The red coffin, which was tightly tied with eight thumb-thick hemp ropes, shook violently in the air. Several people lost their pace and became unstable, and the coffin was about to fall to the ground.
Seeing this, Gu Nian'an turned around, pressed the coffin lid with his backhand, and pressed the coffin, which had just been lifted a little, back onto the wooden bench.
Then he looked at the people carrying the coffin with doubtful expressions and said in a deep voice
"Don't panic, take your time, nothing will happen in broad daylight."
When Taoist Qi Yuan saw that there was a problem with the coffin, he hurried forward to check the situation, and then asked nervously:
"Is the owner of the coffin making trouble again?"
After hearing what the old Taoist said, the seven Li family coffin bearers looked at each other with a strange look on their faces.
One of them hesitated for a moment, then replied:
"Master Qi Yuan, it's not that there's anything unusual in the coffin, but this coffin is really a little strange."
"Yesterday, I saw other brothers carrying the coffin, using up all their strength, but they all collapsed after only walking a few hundred steps.
"So all of us brothers used all our strength to carry the coffin, but the result was..."
"As a result, the coffin was carried surprisingly smoothly this time. Not only did I not feel any weight, but I also didn't feel any cold air at all."
"So the brothers used too much strength at once and some of them couldn't stand steadily."
When the old Taoist heard this, the huge rock that had been weighing on his heart finally fell away.
Then he turned his head to look at Gu Nian'an and then at the little girl Gu Caixi in the crowd.
I can't help but feel that it is worthy of being a powerful combination of the four pillars and the eight characters.
The "evil master" in the coffin was completely suppressed and lost his temper.
After a while, the coffin was lifted up again, and this time nothing unexpected happened.
Funeral music played, paper money cleared the way, and people carried the coffin out of the courtyard in a mighty procession.
As soon as he walked out of the Li family’s gate, Gu Nian’an saw a sneaky "ball" standing not far from the Li family’s mansion.
He looked a little anxious, pacing back and forth, and his eyes were full of self-blame and worry when he looked towards Li Mansion.
It was not until he saw the little girl Gu Caixi unharmed in the funeral procession that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Nian'an was carrying the coffin and it was not convenient for him to go forward and greet them.
But he was still somewhat touched. He didn't expect that the seemingly cunning Boss Wu turned out to be a good person.
Under the scorching sun, a group of people carrying a coffin walked out of the city gate in a mighty procession towards the direction.
The journey of carrying the coffin was relatively smooth, and no accidents occurred afterwards.
After about an hour, the group arrived at the burial site arranged by the Li family in advance.
It's strange to say
"Gufeng Mountain"
This is the destination of the Li family’s trip.
As for this place...it's neither the Li family's cemetery nor is there any Feng Shui treasure land here.
Moreover, there was no need for the master and his two apprentices to survey the Feng Shui beforehand.
This... is really interesting, but what does this have to do with their relationship as master and disciple?
They only had to arrange the funeral and burial arrangements, and Gu Nian'an never considered after-sales service.
As the funeral procession got closer and closer to the burial place arranged by the Li family.
Gu Nian'an looked at the surrounding mountains and landforms casually.
But the more I looked at him, the more I felt something was wrong, and my expression gradually became solemn.
This... really doesn't give us any way out. The Li family's mess is so deep that it's hard to tell the bottom.
As the funeral procession got closer to the burial place, the owner in the coffin gradually started to become restless again.
"Boom, boom, boom"
The sound of knocking came from the blood-red coffin one after another.
Gu Nian'an felt that it was nothing, just a struggle before being beaten to death, there was nothing to pay attention to.
But this was hard for the people who carried the coffin.
These burly men were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their expressions were nervous, and even their legs were shaking involuntarily.
As for the other servants of the Li family who were attending the funeral, they were not in a much better situation. They all stood several meters away from the coffin.
If the Li family had not made sufficient arrangements and had not had dozens of guards following, the funeral procession would have probably dispersed and run away by now.
There is a platform halfway up Gufeng Mountain. The Li family has arranged for their servants to dig the tomb. They are just waiting for the coffin to arrive. Then they can put the coffin down and fill the tomb with soil.
But sometimes, accidents always catch people off guard, and the people carrying the coffin had just stepped onto the platform.
“Bang, bang, bang”
There were a few unusual noises, and the rope carrying the coffin broke.
"bump"
The coffin hit the ground heavily with a dull sound.
...Everyone was stunned. At this moment, some idiot shouted
"Fuck, he's faking his death."
Hearing this, Song Qingshan was shocked and quickly scolded
"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss at all. Whoever dares to do so will not be forgiven by the Li family."
But at this point, who would listen to him?
At this time, saving your life is the top priority, okay, as for afterwards.
Haha! Only when you survive can you think about the aftermath. If you die, everything will be gone.
So the louder Song Qingshan shouted, the faster everyone... ran.
The servants of the Li family were running up the mountain as fast as they could, and at this moment they only regretted that their parents had not given them two pairs of legs.
As for the Li family’s group of guards who maintain order.
Ha! They are the fastest ones.
In a blink of an eye, only Song Qingshan, Gu Nian'an and his apprentice were left on the platform.
Gu Nian'an didn't look at Manager Song who had an ugly expression, nor did he pay attention to the people who were running away.
Ever since entering Gufeng Mountain, he has been checking the Feng Shui terrain around the cemetery.
This is really... The more I watch it, the more frightening it becomes, and the more interesting it becomes.
